6K's lows and fogs. 55w ballast low beam 35w ballast fogs.

If I could do it all over I would go 4500K. It's pure white and has highest visability. Beyond that it's just color.

Just park 20 ft~ from a wall where you can measure the height and make sure the lights are just dead level or just angled down a hair (inch or 2 drop over the 20ft)
I had to adjust mine after I dropped my truck anyway, only been flashed once in a year of having them(and it was dusk anyway, just a guy being a douche)

i dont have foglights (w/t), but i do have 35w 4500k lows, and i have been flashed a couple times in the 2 years i've had them. i didn't adjust the aim at all, so maybe thats why.

if i pull up behind someone at a light, and i can see i'm blinding them through their back window, i will turn off the headlights, and just leave the running lights on until we start moving again, that seems to please people.

LOL lots of people will flash you just cause they look brighter also. I have been WAY down the road before with just my lows and fogs on and they are flashing me at over a 1/2mile cause they can tell the lights are not OEM.

I'm one of those guys. If somebody's coming at me, even from that far away I can tell when their lights are too bright AND NOT AIMED PROPERLY..... Those damn things hurt my eyes, and that pisses me off. Sooooo, those are the guys that get my full setup, lows & highs at the same time, and I will not turn them off until after I pass them.

Don't think I have ever had a truck flash me, it's always the commuter cars that are a foot off the ground that seem to get upset.

Oh and you will go blind if I have my low and hi HID's on takes a second to warm up but is bright as ****


I really want to retro fit projectors like Sandman did into my low and high's and even thinking my fog lights.
